Using the LINE URL scheme

The LINE URL scheme enables deep linking to redirect users to specific content or to perform specific actions in the LINE app. The URL schemes are supported on the iOS and Android versions of the LINE app. You can use URL schemes in web or mobile apps and in bot applications.

The basic URL scheme for the LINE app is line://. Alternatively, schemes can start with https://line.me/R/. If a user has the LINE app installed, the app is automatically launched and the user is redirected to the specified content. If the user does not have the LINE app installed, the behavior depends on the format of the URL scheme as shown below.

line://: Nothing happens or user is redirected to an error page.

https://line.me/R/: A web browser is opened with a prompt for the user to download the LINE app.
